Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -In recent times, many Western countries have been confronted with the challenges posed by the influx of migrants especially from the wartorn countries. This surge in migration has led to diversity. On one side, there have been celebrations of this diversity but on the other side, there has been an increase in distrust and suspicion amongst the insiders and outsiders. The natives have either a xenophilic or a xenophobic disposition towards strangers. The migrants are filled with either happiness or suspicion.Furthermore, there are growing attentions that border on security. Do we open or close our borders Welcoming strangers is an act of hospitality but there should be a caveat . An encounter with a stranger is a common experience in our daily life. However, in the works of Emmanuel Levinas, the concept of a stranger assumes two new meanings: elusiveness and vulnerability. This work discusses these and more in detail.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 68 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The comparative syntax of A70 languages Fang Ewondo and Bulu is a study of three languages spoken in Cameroon, Gabon and Equatorial Guinea. This study explores some aspects of the minimalist syntax such as External Merge and Internal Merge, the deletion of copies in multiple agreement constructions. It shows lists of verbs that can take an infinitival complement. These languages have a special type of coordination that can help to understand the theory of binding and partial control. There are two other comparative studies of these three languages : their negative strategies and their particles of focalisation.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 72 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -A port is essentially an economic concept, an economic infrastructure that services coastal and overseas traffic.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The United Nations body warned that many migrant workers face uncertainty at work and their situation has been worsened by the COVID-19 pandemic.'The COVID-19 crisis has intensified the vulnerabilities, particularly for women migrant workers, as they are over-represented in low-paid and low-skilled jobs and have limited access to social protection and fewer options for support services,' according to the ILO study, which is based on data from 189 countries.The ILO further pointed out substantial gender differences exist between the sectors with a higher number of women migrant workers in services including health and domestic work, partly due to growing labor demand for care workers.Highlighting the value to countries of compiling reliable statistics on their migrant labor workforce, ILO insisted that this would help them 'respond to shifts in labor supply and demand, stimulate innovation and sustainable development, and transfer and update skills'.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The evolution of structural engineering addresses aging infrastructure, increasing loads, and harsh environmental conditions. Reinforced concrete (RC) structures, central to modern construction, face durability challenges, necessitating innovative strengthening techniques. This book explores Near Surface Mounting (NSM) using Basalt Fiber Reinforced Polymer (BFRP) bars for flexural strengthening of RC slabs. BFRP bars offer a lightweight, non-corrosive, and high-strength alternative to steel. Through experimental investigations, the book examines load-deformation behavior, failure modes, and durability of strengthened RC slabs. NSM with BFRP bars enhances load capacity and deformation tolerance, presenting a sustainable solution for modern engineering needs. Aimed at engineers, researchers, and academicians, it provides practical insights and a theoretical foundation for retrofitting and rehabilitation using advanced materials. Gratitude is extended to all contributors. This work aspires to inspire further research and applications, advancing resilient and sustainable infrastructure worldwide.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 76 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The book examines the prospects and consequences of utilizing social media for disseminating agricultural information among rural farmers in Benue State, Nigeria. With the increasing penetration of digital technology, social media platforms such as Facebook, WhatsApp, and YouTube have emerged as vital tools for communication and information sharing. The advantages identified include enhanced reach across vast geographical areas, reduced social isolation among farmers, improved networking opportunities, and timely access to agricultural updates and market information. However, challenges persist, including illiteracy, high data costs, inadequate training on social media usage, and concerns regarding misinformation. This research employs a mixed-methods approach, combining surveys and interviews with local farmers and agricultural extension officers to assess the effectiveness of social media in meeting their information needs. The findings indicate that while social media can significantly enhance agricultural productivity by facilitating quicker access to information, its impact is often hindered by socio-economic barriers.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 80 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -This work contains a theoretical study to find the signature of liquid gas phase transition in the collision of 197Au+197Au at incident energies between 20-1000 MeV/nucleon and at impact parameters b = 0, 4, 8, and 12 fm. The Quantum Molecular Dynamics (QMD) model was used to generate the phase-space of nucleons. The phase-space was, then, analyzed using different clusterization procedures. a systematic study of the charge yield dN/dZ as a function of charge of fragments was carried out in collision of 197Au+197Au at incident energies between 20-1000 MeV/nucleon and at different colliding geometries ranging from central to peripheral.The aim of present study was to look for possible signature of critical phenomena i.e. liquid gas phase transition in finite nuclei. For better understanding, the results with different clusterization algorithms were also shown. Our results clearly indicate that no signal of liquid-gas phase transition was seen as no unique dependence of tau and lambda on impact parameter was seen. Moreover, the incident energy at which tau and lambda has minima was alsonot same at all impact parameters and clusterization algorithms.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 76 pp. Englisch.
